The abundance of natural resources that once formed the backbone of Native economies has diminished over time, but with renewed hope, the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe continues to connect the younger generations to their roots in nature.
The Tribe continues to uphold sacred traditions. Many cultural traditions like canoe making, gift-giving, basket weaving, and other cultural art forms are being intentionally passed down through the generations and are more widely celebrated throughout the Seattle area.
The Muckleshoot Indian Tribe takes great pride in the role we play in this state and region. The Tribe has grown to become one of the largest employers in South King County, and the economic impact of our various business ventures is significant across the state of Washington.
The Muckleshoot Tribal Council engages with local, state, and federal governments on behalf of our people, and directs investments in our communities and environment to make sure our ways and our people continue.
Since settler contact, the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe's rights to land has changed drastically. Learn about the shaping of the Muckleshoot Reservation and Tribal Lands of the past and present with this interactive tool.
As a sovereign Tribal nation, we actively invest in our community, sustain our environment, and contribute to regional economy. The Muckleshoot Indian Tribe is one of King County’s largest employers, supporting 3,300 direct jobs and providing hundreds of millions of dollars to the regional economy.
